Additional medical info:

 

-HAZE is not for anyone with mental illness, nervous problems or that gets paranoid easily.

 

-AIDS Patients can NOT be exposed to ANY molds for fungi, so the product MUST be absolutely well cured and dry. Most AIDS patients prefer a more Sativa variety, for the 'uplifting' effects, and energy boost it can provide.

 

-Tinctures made from sativa cannabis are very effective on Strep Throat, and the variety seems to be preffered by immune comprimised patients.

 

-Tinctures made from indicas are effective on muscle spasms and various types of myalgia, neuralgia and nausea.

 

-Calcium Hydroxide & hempseed oil can be used as a treatment for burns, bedsores and other skin afflications.

 

-Cannabis is an analgestic. It can improve the effectivness of morphine up to 500 times at low doses, but only 10 times that for large doses. Can also improve the effect of NSAIDS (asprin, tylenol, ibuprofen, but can also do the job itself)

My Bubble Gum puts people to sleep if they get stuck into it but one of the problems for med users is that mj strains can effect different people in different ways and prescribed medication can alter the effects of the THC, so while boulder's post can only be used as a guide it is a good starting point for med users to begin their research into which strain suits them best, luckily researching mj can be quite an enjoyable pastime.

i've been using mainly a B.C. Big Bud grown in N. Cali....called salmon creek...i have had vascular migraines for eight and a half years now, and grass was the oly thing to make the pain go away....i found this strain while at school at HSU, nothing else could compare to the releif i got from this strain...so i bought i shit-ton of it....and if ANYONE can help a brother out with a clone then it would but much abliged!

:: See ya next year............ I have actually found that AK-47 has helped me (rhuematism) quite a bit, when I can get it. Still trying to figure out exactly what strains I want to grow, can't bloody make my mind up Shiva Skunk knocks me on my ass pretty quick.........so does Wite Wdow, so that's a keeper . I've found them to be pretty good for pain releif

This is some very interesting info, IMO the different forms of THC must activate the CB1 and CB2 receptors differenent amounts in different parts of the body ie the specific THC analouge will activate one subclass of a CB1 receptor in one part of the brain to a different degree when compared to a CB1 receptor of a different subclass in a different part of the boby.

The problem from an experimental point of view is the inability to accurately id the different analouges and indeed 9-THC in biological fluids. Although they can be ID before administration a procedure desigen to ID the analouges in plasma would be almost a requirement to ID receptor binding affinity for particular strains. For more info on med use of mj:

 

www.NIH.gov

 

US govt site with link for med mj use. Full link in GE mj thread.

 

It seems that reseach into which of these naturally ocurring THC analouges activates the receptors associated with relieving the particular disease state is the obvios next step in optimising: drugs derived from mj (like nabilone) or the use of particular mj strains But it seems from my understanding the only receptors that have been ID are the CB1 and CB2 (but I could be wrong). Therefore there is still a lot of work to be done before any1 can objectively say 1 strain is better than another for the average patient with a particular ailment.

BUT evidence like that posted above, however subjective is obviously the most reliable if the source and study conditions etc are reliable, but a good rule of thumb is publication in a reputable scientific journal, which does not occur enough.
